Communication board top tip – Add a word!

This months top tip is focusing on extending current language development by being a role model when communicating with your child. This promotes an extension of sentence structure. Please have a look at our communication board within the ECC cloakroom this is updated on a weekly basis. (Wed)

ECC October Home Learning Task

For our home learning this October, we would like to encourage you to put a post on your child’s e-portfolio.  It can be something that you and your child did over the holiday that they would like to share with us in the ECC.

Thank you

This is an optional task.

Communication Board Update

This week on our communication board you will see our Nursery Rhyme of the week is Humpty Dumpty and we have the Makaton displayed to go alongside which are King, horse and men. The Nursery Rhyme and Makaton aid your child’s communication and language skills so please try these out at home with your child. Please look out for the yellow disk being attached to the communication board  in the next few days which will be a recording of Humpty Dumpty by an ECC volunteer from either the AM or PM session. It will be a different child each week.
